What money moves may be made or not??

[Pats726]

I know McGinest is due with a bonus...correct?? Are there any other things similar with money due..or of restructures possible?? Any other things that may be done before free agency???? Things in the next month??

Release Starks, restructure Brady, restructure Colvin, release Poole.

MG's PLAN or MG's GUESS
1) McGinist - a must since the signing bonus is $3.5M for a total new money of $7M
2) Poole - will the team pay $500k on the chance that Poole makes the roster for a salary of $1.5M? Keeping him also risks paying him for another season on IR.
3) Vinitieri - Adam is free agent. We have to decide whether to franchise him at $3M+ or sign a new deal before March 2 or whether to let him be a FA
4) Starks - We are unlikely to pay him $3.6M, but now is not the time for the pressure. Certainly, this could happen
5) Other restructures - leave for end of August or perhaps at start of camp

ONE SCENARIO OF CAP EFFECTS BY MARCH 1
(assume #51 is at $400K)

Willie - new cap $2.5M savings $4.1M
Poole - cut savings $1.6M
Vinitieri -franchise add $2.6M
Starks - wait until camp 0
-------
Total cap effect savings $3.1M
